Chapter 142
The news that Chen Zhibao wanted to leave Beiliang and return to Liyang soon reached Zhao Kai's ears.That night, Zhao Dun recruited Zhao Kai into the palace to discuss countermeasures.

Since Zhao Kai became the crown prince, apart from going to court every morning, the emperor would call Zhao Kai whenever there was an important matter, saying that Zhao Kai should be proficient in court affairs as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the future.

In the imperial study room, Zhao Dun sat in the main seat, while Zhao Kai and Yuan Benxi sat on both sides. Since Zhao Dun had already had the mountain-like memorial moved to the East Palace, the imperial study room seemed much empty at this time. Dun even set a tea set on the table, and poured himself a cup from time to time.The expression of enjoyment on his face didn't seem to be fake either.It seems that he is really ready to retire.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Kai was not polite, waved lightly and let the teacup fly in front of him, not forgetting to give Yuan Benxi a cup.

Zhao Dun took a sip of tea and said:
"Chen Zhibao's departure from Beiliang this time is a great help for me in Liyang. What position do you think should be given to him?
This Chen Zhibao is the No. 1 soldier in the world, and he has made great contributions to me in Liyang. If I can't give him a generous reward, I'm afraid it will make people feel chilling, but Beiliang is not easy to deal with. "

After Zhao Dun finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Kai. To be honest, if he knew that Chen Zhibao was going to surrender to Liyang before, he would have been elated.

But since Beiliang and his party, especially after seeing Xu Fengnian in charge of Beiliang in a dream, his thoughts have changed a lot, and he is also worried about falling out with Beiliang.

Zhao Kai also sat still like an old monk, and said:

"Chen Zhibao's departure from Beiliang is probably Xu Xiao's intention, right? As far as I know, Chen Zhibao will definitely not be willing to live under Xu Fengnian. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and his departure is inevitable.

As for where to give him?With his achievements and abilities, at least give him a county king! "

Zhao Dun nodded when he heard what Zhao Kai said, and said:
"Well, that's true. After all, he was the soldier who defeated Ye Baikui in his teens. With him around, why not worry about things going wrong."

In the original historical trajectory, Chen Zhibao first succeeded the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and after Zhao Kai died, he became the county king of Shu, took charge of Shu, and finally stabbed Li Yang, and Yan Chi Wang Zhao Bing directly killed him. The royal family was destroyed.

The key is that he didn't covet power after he was exterminated, and went to live in seclusion. He clearly held the army, but he stood by and watched the life and death of the 30 army in Beiliang.I really don't understand it.

This time, the one who is going to Xishu to become a vassal is the king of Chu, Zhao Xiong. This trip is destined not to go smoothly. Li Yishan is so talented, how could he give up his back to the Zhao family.

It doesn't matter whether he can go there, anyway, the original Zhao Kai died on the way, and was regarded as an abandoned child.Today's Zhao Xiong has to face the same fate, which makes Zhao Kai a little embarrassed.

Yuan Benxi looked at the two of them, frowning tightly, looking hesitant to speak.

After that, Zhao Kai and Yuan Benxi walked out of the imperial study room side by side, Zhao Kai asked:

"Old man, seeing how you hesitate to speak, what concerns do you have?"

Yuan Benxi did not hesitate at this time, and said bluntly:
"To be honest, the old man doesn't trust Chen Zhibao. As far as I know, he has always regarded Wu Su as his mother. Whether he really wants to be loyal to Liyang is still open to question. Let such a great talent support himself. If you are really rebellious, the consequences will be disastrous."

As the leader of Zhao Gou, he has already done a detailed investigation of these generals in Beiliang, so he also knows Chen Zhibao quite well. He originally thought that Zhao Kai would bring this matter up to the emperor with his ingenuity, but he didn't expect Zhao Kai Kai did follow the emperor's wishes, which made him a little puzzled.

In his eyes, Zhao Kai's behavior didn't seem to take Chen Zhibao seriously. Such behavior is obviously wrong.

Zhao Kai also nodded when he heard the words, and said:
"Letting Chen Zhibao be a king with a different surname is also a helpless move, just like Xu Xiao before. But it should be good to let him deal with Xichu. Now Liyang really can't find a few generals who can lead the army."

Yuan Benxi looked at Zhao Kai who was holding Zhizhu, so he didn't say much, after all, Zhao Kai had advisors who were not weaker than him.

Zhao Kai said:

"By the way, Jiang Fuding has returned to Tai'an City, why don't you go and see him?"

Jiang Fuding returned to Tai'an City a few days ago, and was soon assigned to the Ministry of War by Zhao Kai. Now he has many civil servants under his command, but there are very few military generals. All the famous generals have gone to Beiliang. , or in Xichu.Finally, someone who knows martial arts came, so naturally he couldn't let it go.

Jiang Fuding was reluctant at first, he liked Jianghu more than court.However, he couldn't stand Zhao Kai's flickering.

Although Jiang Fuding was a well-connected family, he still had good contacts in the Jianghu. Coupled with his strong strength, he soon gained a firm foothold in the army.

Yuan Benxi shook his head and said:

"Your Highness, please keep it secret for me, and don't let other people know his identity."

Zhao Kai waved his hand and said:
"Okay, whatever you want."

Since he became the crown prince, Zhao Kai's East Palace has been full of people. Every day, many nobles from Liyang come to visit. Some of them come here to recommend themselves. Of course, most of them come to see their daughters. After all, the current crown prince is not married. , everyone wants to be a relative of the emperor, even if it is an ordinary concubine, she can honor her ancestors.

After becoming the crown prince, Zhao Kai's lifelong events have been talked about by countless officials. It is rare for ordinary men to be 20 years old without marrying a wife. Zhao Kai is almost 25 years old, and he doesn't even have a side concubine. .What's more, he still wants to inherit the prince of Datong.

Therefore, whenever discussing state affairs with the ministers, these people couldn't help but mention it, which was really annoying.

Until the end Zhao Kai even gave the death order directly, if he dared to talk about the prince's marriage again, he would be fined for half a month.

Half a month later, the princes who were previously named kings also began to go to various territories to take up feudal vassals. After all, the current Tai'an City has almost become Zhao Kai's world. They are afraid to stay in the capital. Go to their respective fiefs to be a handsome prince.

Many princes have left one after another, and the most eye-catching and the largest team is Chu Wang Zhao Xiong. At this moment, he is also in a complicated mood. If it is normal, he should be happy to get such a large fief. This is a lot of favors. None of the princes ever owned it.

But now he is going to the Shu land behind Beiliang!Not to mention that this territory is still in chaos and difficult to control, it is said that there are still countless survivors of Western Shu who are seeking to restore the country, so don't be too chaotic.More importantly, will Beiliang sit back and watch himself control Nanzhao, the land of Shu?

Zhao Xiong was beating drums in his heart, but the imperial decree came down, so he couldn't think about it.
